Mini-election results in left-wing landslide...but parliament is still hung

Who should win tomorrow’s general election?

Well done to the four politicians-in-the-making who did each of their adopted parties credit in our perennial favourite, the party-political panel debate, which was held at the Union Society today in honour of tomorrow’s crucial general election.

An interesting result saw Labour and the Greens share the audience’s support, whereas the Lib Dem and Tory parties languished on one vote a piece. This didn’t reflect the high standard of articulation and argument demonstrated by all four participants today; it truly was a closely-contested battle.

Willem seemed to drift into, at best, misunderstanding and, at worse, deception, when outlining Labour policies. Fortunately, as chairs, James and I were able to challenge his supposed commitments to scrapping tuition fees and re-opening closed Post Offices. Sahan’s struggle was with public sector pay, Thomas’s with taxation and David’s with education.

Overall, though, these four gentlemen responded excellently to questions on health, education, taxes, the environment, and more; and in a few years time, I’ve no doubt they’ll each make excellent spokespersons for any party on the BBC’s Question Time.

Yesterday: Well done to Sahan, Sam and Willem, who saved the day by stepping in at the last possible minute to speak on behalf of the Labour Party at a sixth form debate on Tuesday. They lost out on a win by just two votes, but did the Union Society a fabulous service nonetheless.
